Oki, I've never looked at lxc, I was under the impression that docker used to build on lxc in the past. Is that not true any longer?
It was true, yes, but I don't think it is now. Although, I can't find a link ATM.
Is there a template included for Arch? That would be quite nice because building the docker image for Arch is a bit ugly I'd say....
Yes. It is a bit messy IMHO because it is being maintaned by several people... So, I always manually create my containers, but then again, I always have a config lying around.
Finally, what about running a 32bit container on a 64bit host? I've not managed to find any indication that this is officially supported in docker, but it seems to work just fine.
This is supported.
Docker has some nice attributes, in particular no need for root access. However, I don't know a whole lot about it, so I wonder are
Where do you take this from? Rootless containers require a specific host kernel configuration (which -ARCH kernels don't have).
Well, I'm probably imprecise here. What I meant was that after the service has been started (which requires root) any user in the docker group can start images.
Yeah, I kinda dislike these "daemon + privileged group" things -- reminds me of polkit. With lxc, you'll need to have a container running and connect to it via SSH or VNC. For me this is OK because my build container is on a desktop and I usually access it from a laptop...
